Gardai seized €50,000 worth of suspected cannabis plants at a grow house in Co Tipperary on Monday.
Officers from Tipperary Divisional Drug Unit, assisted by Newport Gardaí, carried out a search at a house in the North Tipperary area shortly before 5pm.
During the course of the search, Gardaí found two rooms converted into grow houses.
One of the rooms was found through a concealed door that was hidden behind a shelving unit.
Suspected cannabis plants at various stages of growth were found in both rooms and they are estimated to be worth over €50,000.
All of the suspected cannabis plants were seized and will now be sent for analysis.
Both grow houses were fitted out with extractor fans, timers for lighting and heaters and an irrigation system.
A man in his 60s was arrested at the scene and detained under Section 4 Criminal Justice Act 1984 at Nenagh Garda Station.
He has since been charged and is due to appear before Thurles District Court on May 26, 2020.
